Sears, John 1990 Journal 18 Kerr Wildlife Management Area, 12 miles west of Hunts, Kerr Co., Texas. Elevation 2050 feet. June 4 to speak to Dr. Richard Goldfarb, who was to have arranged for (coit) my access. A couple days of making phone contacts did not succeed in securing permission, and last night I left Houston to return here. I believe I described the habitat in my notes of last year's visit. A brief recap may be in order. This WHA is about 2 1/4 x 4 1/2 miles in dimension, longer access running N-S. The south boundary is the Guadalupe River. The area is one of mostly gently rolling hills sloping gently toward the river, where the limestone underlying the area is exposed in some of the intermittent creek drainages. The major plants I can name are sain oak, plateau live oak, Texas (= Spanish) oak, pin oak, pecan, walnut, Texas persimmon (var. small), Texas mulberry (var. small), ash juniper, redbud, and some type of elm. Some understory & brush species include greenbrier, evergreen sumac, poison ivy and small oaks. There were many kinds of wildflowers and grasses. Woodlands and pastures were distinctive areas, with few intermediate savanna areas. In addition to a few scattered natural springs, water is drawn to the surface at several windmills on the property. This morning I drove and walked much of the refuge, looking particularly at sound all sites with surface water except the river. I recorded several birds, and there are many goldfinches here. This afternoon I set up my note near a fenced pond in the southern part of the property, and worked these notes the remainder of the day.
